Thought I was staying another night. Whoops! Guess it’s Amarillo tonight. LOL. Only afternoon activity we had planned was Buck-e-e’s, so it’ll be all good. Makes the trip back easier. I heard that! It sucks we didn’t get to hang with you guys last night. Sunday night wind down is always my second favorite hang time.

Hope you guys got home ok, and before you ran out of minis to paint. Keep me informed on what’s up with you’re next kickstarter! and before you wonder if a bot wrote this reply, despite all the vitriol, you might actually be a nice guy. Looking forward to seeing what ways you’ll find to insult me next. 23 hours ago, Inarah said: Home safe. Rolled into the driveway just before 10pm. Aside from the brief rain in the Denton area it was easy driving. The cat is sooooo happy to see us.... glad to hear you made it safe. It was nice being able to putting a face to the name, even though I didn’t get a chance to officially say hi in person. it seemed you always walked by when I was busy with something else, or you were busy chatting with someone else. 🤣 Edited September 6, 2022 by Thes Hunter 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't trade the 4 1/2 hour nights of sleep at Reapercon for anything, though. glad you finally got some sleep, sorry you didn’t sleep well at the con. 😈 always good to see you my friend. I hope to return to regular nightly paint sessions here in a couple months. 7 hours ago, haldir said: That's cause they were all using southwest at Love! Finally home after a slight delay in PHX. glad to hear you’re home to your fam safe and sound, good seeing you again. Next year I will make every effort to have my entries done, leaving me time to finally play in one of your games. 6 hours ago, OneBoot said: In Seattle. Next stop is home! In keeping with this year's unintended theme of "unexpectedly relying on the awesomeness of other people because of plan changes," a friend of mine said she can pick me up from the airport. I legit forgot to make arrangements ahead of time, since MrBoot is usually able to pick me up. He's out of town visiting family this weekend, and this fact didn't connect with the "location of our vehicle" fact in my sleep-deprived brain earlier lol. Huzzah! --OneBoot 🙂 Woo hoo, glad everything worked out for you. It was great seeing you as always. and… @klarg1, @Cranky Dog there is a Carvana in Louisville!!! I was right to think I saw one all the time! It was in the middle of being built for a while but it opened just recently! no, as I was driving by, I did not notice what cars were being sold. 🤣 ——- to everyone else, (and I am not going to try to remember names, because I will invariably miss someone) it was great seeing you! It was a wonderful reminder of why I paint minis, why I love this community, and where I want my life to take me going forward. I can’t wait till next year, So I am going to make certain I get myself back to regular paint hangouts (or however the kids are doing it these days.)

Sunday night wind down is always my second favorite hang time. Yeah, we might not be doing Sundays anymore. Unless I take Tuesday off. After four days of late nights, a 12 hour road trip is pretty harsh in one day. We realized when we were 20 minutes from home that if we had left Denton this morning early, we’d still have 7 hours of driving to do. We will have to see how next year goes. We will be officially empty nesters next year, with puppies (lol, 13 and 6 years old) and nobody to care for them. Sure, there’s doggie camp, and my mother might still want to come visit to take the grand-dogs, but considering she couldn’t make it this year because her pets couldn’t find a sitter and my step-father requires care, not sure she can come. Bringing them isn’t really an option, so I may be alone. Rika won’t be happy about that (she enjoys going and worries I would fall asleep driving). Have to see once the calendar thins. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranky Dog Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 I made it home guys! Left around 7 am with @Geoff Davis , @Dragoneye and @ragados (so much talent in that SUV sitting next to me) and arrived home around 10:30 pm. No major issues with the flights, but for hours my kidneys decided to work overtime while my bladder was still on vacation. Back to ReaperCon, I NEEDED THIS! The "family reunion with people you like" analogy is so appropriate. Meeting old friends, meeting others for the first time, missing those that couldn't make it. The classes, the games, the activities, the ceremony, the auction, @Thes Hunter's birthday... uhm... after hours consentful commemoration activity, so much food and drink, making myself known as the maple liquor and fudge guy. As physically exhausting as it was, this was totally worth it. I'm gonna have weird fantastic dreams tonight. I'll review my swag haul after a night's rest. 15 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thes Hunter Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 @Cranky Dog - glad I could be part of such fond memories. Lol. and I’m sad I didn’t make more room in my glass for more maple cream. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pegazus Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Had the obligatory night filled with ReaperCon dreams. Think me brain has officially filed away the information now. Guess the only thing left to do is paint for next year. 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have role-played as a responsible adult and gone to sleep at a reasonable time, but then I might have missed something. Much more fun this way. 11 hours ago, Thes Hunter said: to everyone else, (and I am not going to try to remember names, because I will invariably miss someone) it was great seeing you!

I was at the Factory taking Jon's awesome tour when you posted this, then only hit the con again for 20 minutes to pick up my painting entries. I do have some left, and will have them at the next ReaperCon I attend, which I hope is next year (but we'll see). 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PammyD2 Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Oh man, I am struggling to wake up still today. I've been working for 3 hours, and feel myself drifting away as the customers complain on the phone, and briefly answered one question with "when your customers go to the well, I mean website." Haha. I don't know what my mind was thinking about, maybe it's still in D&D mode, or planning a future diorama! Did I mention how much fun I had at the Con this year?? Meeting all of you was just awesome and I'm so glad that I got on these forums. You have such great energy and really know how to welcome someone to the group and make them feel comfortable. I hope to continue this new tradition for years to come! I feel like I've found my other family! I learned so much and have started planning my next entries! I still can't believe I made Bronze this year and honestly thought they were still calling the Certificates of Merit! Now I need some time to fill up my social battery again, but it was so worth it!!!! I can't wait to see y'all again! 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humansquish Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 I roomed with him and never heard about fudge until I was leaving. It's ok though, not a big fan of fudge. 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
